On sober reflection...

Overall, the last test match has left me feeling both good and bad. Good insofaras we competed on pretty much equal terms for most of the match with arguably the best team in the world, and were undone mainly by the genius of Sehwag and Tendulkar. Bad, because I think it is a reality check in that we played more or less as well as we can (or should) and that we just aint quite up there with the best. Whichever England player you criticise, there simply isn't an obviously better alternative. Moores needs to go, obviously, as he has not improved any part of this team or its performance whatsoever, and seems to be enveloped in stonewalling nonsense-speak. In our terms Pets, he is not a reflective practitioner.
Any road, we need a better coach and a decent spin-coach, but I don't think there's too much else we can do.
